Safeway Restoration

What Safeway Restoration does

Safeway Restoration is a privately held, Miami-based property restoration services company founded in 2012 that delivers emergency mitigation, remediation, and full reconstruction for water, fire, smoke, mold, and storm damage across South Florida (Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach, and Monroe counties, including the Florida Keys). Its service portfolio spans four damage categories—water damage restoration, fire and smoke damage, mold remediation, and storm/flood repair—supported by add-on offerings such as leak detection, structural drying, sewage cleanup, HVAC duct cleaning, indoor air quality testing, content pack-out, and commercial data/document recovery.

The company operates a services-led, human-delivered model using conventional restoration instrumentation (thermal imaging cameras, moisture meters, HEPA filtration and negative-pressure containment, ozone and hydroxyl odor treatment, and industrial extractors and dehumidifiers) rather than a software or AI platform. A distinctive structural feature is its vertically integrated licensing stack: it holds an IICRC firm certification, Florida mold remediator (MRSR2532) and assessor (MRSA3228) licenses, and a Florida building contractor license (CBC1268556), which legally permit a single contractor to take a job from initial emergency mitigation through complete reconstruction.

Revenue is generated through project-based, quote-driven fees per job, with typical water damage projects in the $3,000–$5,000 range and mold remediation from $300–$500 (small areas) up to $3,000–$8,000 (extensive); commercial large-loss and reconstruction jobs vary materially higher. A central commercial mechanism is direct insurance billing with at least eight named carriers (Citizens, Universal, AIG, Chubb, Pure, USAA, State Farm, Kin), supplemented by Greensky consumer financing for uninsured balances. Acquisition is sales-led through a 24/7 phone line (305-563-2660), website contact forms, and inbound carrier referrals, targeting both residential homeowners and commercial property owners in healthcare, retail, education, multifamily/HOA, and government verticals.

Product overview

Safeway Restoration is a property restoration services company offering an integrated suite of emergency mitigation, remediation, and reconstruction services for residential and commercial properties. The core service portfolio consists of three primary damage categories: Water Damage Restoration (including extraction, structural drying, leak detection, and sewage cleanup), Fire Damage Restoration (including smoke/soot cleanup, odor removal, and board-up services), and Mold Remediation & Removal (with associated testing and inspection services). These core offerings are supported by add-on modules including HVAC Duct Cleaning, Indoor Air Quality Testing, Reconstruction & Repair Services, Content Cleaning & Pack-Out, and specialized Commercial Large Loss services for enterprise properties. The company operates as a single unified service offering with services typically delivered sequentially following disaster damage (emergency mitigation first, followed by remediation, then reconstruction), rather than a software platform architecture.
